so are they both coneccted? or do i have to drain both? the big ass one is hard to push to get it to come out, can i just drain the small one till its all out and it will drain the big one to? or are they seperate lines?

thanx

draining just one should be fine, but both should be 'depressable'. and yeah that compresor weighs around 25 lbs. shit it fucking heavy on ur car, and u will know a lot of difference with the compressor gone and by the way i am talking about the denso compressor found on most lx-is and se-i's.

I wish mine had originally come with the Denso. Then I wouldn't have had to spend $1,000 converting to the Sanden when the Keihin that came on my LXi died. The Keihin actually died twice. The first time the car was 2 1/2 years old and still under warranty and the second time was eight years later.

I sure do like having nice cold R-12 air, though.
